legal fun for a friend of mine...
This is a bit horrible, but I thought that perhaps some of my readers might be a bit interested in this. A design mate of mine who just recently put me up when I was up in Sydney for a conference, has been threatened with legal action. He has the domain lifethroughapolaroid.com and the legal folks around at Polaroid seem to think that he's taking away from their brand's cachet by running a site and blog on the above mentioned domain.
I'd just like to voice my support for Ben and say that I think that it's just a tad overzealous and unnecessary and makes Polaroid as a company look not only outdated but more than a little unfriendly. Surely a site that features a stack of Polaroid lifestyle images is the kind of publicity that they can't buy? Damn shame. I have a Polaroid camera, and as a simple protest I plan not buy film for it or use it again.
If you have a polaroid, why not investigate alternatives for cool analogue images, such as Lomo Cameras - there's a company that understands the value a real dialogue with thier customers.
